Description
I don't know what the source of truth is here, but the discrepancy should be addressed one way or another. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-findwindowa#remarks

Research direction
Start by comparing the FindWindow declaration emitted in CsWin32 with the Microsoft documentation linked in the issue, then trace the corresponding Win32 metadata entry and its generation path. Done means the authoritative source and emitted SetLastError value agree, with any affected validation updated if the project has coverage for this declaration.
